Svoboda Mon, 27 Oct 2008 14:55:51 +0000 http://www.bloggernews.net/114800#comment-718748 > Hello Everyone, My name is D.J. Svoboda. I am so excited to speak to you today. My journey with Autism began when I was diagnosed @ the age of three with Autism Spectrum Disorder with Psychomotor Retardation. Growing up with Autism has presented me with many challenges. Some of the most difficult times were during my school age years. From these experiences I began to create My Imagiville. My Imagiville is the home of the bright colorful characters I draw called, The Imagifriends. Now I will explain what The Imagifriends are about. They are a big wonderful happy family who care for and support one another. In Imagiville no one is ever picked on or mistreated in any way. Each Imagifriend has a job to do and they all work together. Some Imagifriends have Autism or other disabilities but they are accepted just the way they are. The Imagifriends teach several important lessons. The first one being, That even those with Autism are very wonderful special people that can accomplish their dreams and goals and help make this world a better place. The second lesson is that as long as someone has a good heart it doesnt matter what he or she looks like. I want to use my art to help encourage others that have or know someone who has Autism. There is a great need for Acceptance and Understanding of Autism in our world today. I want to use my art to spread that message!!!! I donate a portion of all I make to the Autism Help Network to help others with Autism. You can read more about me and My Imagiville on my website @www.MyImagiville.com. Thank you so much for giving me the privilege of sharing my story with you. D.J. Svoboda >

with Psychomotor Retardation. Growing up with Autism has presented me with many
challenges. Some of the most difficult times were during my school age years. From
these experiences I began to create My Imagiville. My Imagiville is the home of
the bright colorful characters I draw called, The Imagifriends. Now I will explain
what The Imagifriends are about. They are a big wonderful happy family who care
for and support one another. In Imagiville no one is ever picked on or mistreated
in any way. Each Imagifriend has a job to do and they all work together. Some Imagifriends
have Autism or other disabilities but they are accepted just the way they are. The
Imagifriends teach several important lessons. The first one being, That even those

People who treat autism are a creative evolutionary response to the post industrial age. Our miner's canarys are telling us that they cannot adapt to their environment. They are speaking to all of us. The epidemic of autism represents evidence of the greatest evironmental challenge in history.
